To all whom/t .mayconcem Be it known that we, KonNEL Pncz, a subject ofy His Majesty the Emperor of Austria and King of Hungary, residing lat'Q Damjanich utca, Budapest, "VII, Austria-Hungary, superintendent, and KARL REJT, a subject of His Majesty the VEmperor of Austria and King of Hungary, residing at" a0 Ovoda utca, Budapest, VII, Austria-Hungary, controller, have invented a new and useful Feed-Tater Purifier, of which the following is a specification.

The invention relates to an apparatus for purifying feed water, and in fact more particularly to apparatus of that kindin which the feed water before being supplied to the boiler is heated so that the salts forming sediment or scale are separated.

One embodiment of an apparatus for purifying feed water according to this invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure l is a longitudinal section, and Fig. 2 a cross section on the line 2 2, of Fig. 1 through the purifying apparatus with the neighboring portion of the boiler and its accessories.

A cylindrical container a is connected with the boiler 79 by means of a support Z) so that it is arranged above this boiler. The support b is hollow and forms a passage from the container 2, to the boiler 79, whereby puriiied water may pass from the container to the boiler. The cylinder a has ,on one end a xed end wall s and on the other end a removable cover 7. Along the inside of both longitudinal sides rails z' z' are fastened upon which rails 7c 7c rest loosely. A number of vertical cells c, in the example illustrated 4, are fixed upon these rails lc 'lo and these cells are in communication with one another by means of connecting pipes e arranged in staggered relation to one another. The cells c are open above, while below they are connected to a common horizontal col lecting pipe CZ with which they are in communication through openings 7. An outlet pipe controlled by a cock g, passes from one end of the pipe Z through the cover f.

The rails are fixed to the cover f by means of bolts q so that after removing the cock r/ and the connecting' means joining the cover 7c to the cylindrical container, for eX- ample bolts, the cover, together with the rails 7c and the cells c resting thereon, and the sediment tube cZ can be withdrawn from the container a. A :roller 0 is fastened on the cover f and can run on a rail n arranged on the boiler 79. In this manner the withdrawal of the cover fwith the apparatus connected `thereto "is facilitated. 1Water is supplied to the container a, through two pipes e, 7),. controlled valves u, u. These pipes are joined'by a fitting t, to a pipe t which opens into the top of the container a. .Under'the support b in the boiler p there 1s a roof-shaped baiile plate fw.

The feed water purifying apparatus works as follows: If feed water is let into pipe L 1t next passes into the cell c below that pipe and then takes its way through the connecting pipes e through the whole of the remaining cells c. In this way the water 1s warmed by the steam which passes through the support b from the boiler 79 into the con tainer a so that the materials forming scale are separated. These materials sink downward in the cells c and pass through the holes 1' into the collecting tube Z which is similarly surrounded by steam so that here also further separation can take place. The water purified in this manner passes through the opening m in the last cell c over into the container a and arrives through the support Z) into the boiler 7J in which it is divided by means of the roof-shaped plate w. The sedi ment collected in the collecting tube CZ is taken out from time to time through the cock g. In order to cleansetheinterior of the apparatus as has already been said, the cover j with the apparatus supported by it is drawn out. f

It is preferable to connect the container a with the steam space of the boiler 7) by means of a pipe Z in order to prevent shocks which may be expected upon the introduce tion of the feed water. rThe shocks are set up because owing to the cooling due to the entry of the water a sudden fall of pressure is Set up locally and this is avoided by supplying steam to the upper part of the cylinder a.

rlhe apparatus for purifying feed water described is suitable for application to locomotive as also to stationary boilers.

lWhat we claim is l. An apparatus for purifying feed water consisting of a closed container a, cells 0 in the interior of this container, connecting pipes e between these cells, a collecting tube d to which the different cells are connected, a support ZJ attached to the container for connection to the boiler, and a tube h opening into the container of the water purier for connection to the feed Water pipes, substantially as described.

2. An apparatus for purifying feed water consisting of a closed container, vertical cells in said container for separating' out the scale forming material and a removable cover to which the cells are fixed.

3. An apparatus for purifying feed water consisting of a closed container, cells in said container, connecting pipes between said cells, a collecting tube to which the cells are connected, side rails to which saidcells are fastened, rails mounted on the inside of the wall of the container on which said side rails rest, means for fastening said side rails to the removable cover of the container, a support fastened to the container for connection with the boiler and a tube opening into said container for connection to the feed water pipes.

In testimony whereof we havesigned our names to the specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
